Billy’s Rockin-N-Rollin Pumpkin

History • Pumpkins, like other squash, are thought to have originated in North America. The oldest evidence, pumpkin-related seeds dating between 7000 and 5500 BC, were found in Mexico. Pumpkins were once an important staple in the North American diet but by the late nineteenth century they were already symbols of a rural past. Their association with harvest time and pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving reinforced this iconic role. The Great Pumpkin is a fictional holiday figure in the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz that only Linus van Pelt seems to believe in. Every year, Linus sits in a pumpkin patch on Halloween night waiting for the Great Pumpkin to appear. Invariably, the Great Pumpkin fails to turn up, and a humiliated but undefeated Linus vows to wait for him again the following Halloween.
